RUMORS: Land these businesses

I am writing to see if the city of Cd’A and the City Council can explain why we keep hearing that Hobby Lobby and Trader Joe’s are coming to Cd’A, where everyone gets so excited and can’t wait for them to open.

We hated to see Shopko go but happy new stores were coming. We had heard earlier this year that Hobby Lobby was going to open either at the old Sears or Kmart. Never happened. Glad that At Home has opened, love it. Trader Joe’s was going to build a store at Riverstone, never happened. Now we are hearing the hospital is going to move offices where Shopko was.

Please tell me and other Cd’A citizens why this keeps happening? Why they changed their minds? We also keep seeing new construction and hope it is something good, but no; it’s either a new real estate office or more office buildings. These only help a small amount of citizens. We need something for all of us.

Would the city please write an article explaining why this has happened. If anyone else feels the same, you can write to the editor with your feelings. I am also contacting Hobby Lobby and Trader Joe’s to find out what happened.
